BLN Just Wont work (flashed 3-4 roms) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Infin1ty rom on right now, before that was stock, then oxygen, then zulu and opensoju.
All these roms had one thing in common----BLN wouldnt work for me.
I tried reflashing, wiping, doing EVERYTHING that i can think of! and BLN just wont work. I have NO clue why, i reflashed roms, bought the pro app and still didnt work.
The test notification works fine. Im running the stock messaging app and GO SMS, and for some reason nothing works.... im getting annoyed it works for everyone else accept a dozen or so of us xda members.

BLN works fine for me using Opensoju. Make sure to download BLN from market.

Download Black Light Notification app from the market and activate it

It's not the Rom which is important but the kernel.
What's yours?

I have always had Netarchy kernal! in every rom i put that kernal on! its the newest one as well. I might be switching to trinity however.....but im so confused why this doesnt work for me!!
i have all the correct kernal and everything, im so confused

I use a Trinity kernel with NSCollab, and it's ok.
Sorry, i can't help you :-(

So i just flashed the trinity kernal (one in the first post) and it still doesnt work with BLN.
all that happens is phone vibrates, i see my widgetlocker theme, then phone shuts off and the bottom keys arent lighting up. Whats going on?

I followed what this guy did here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088690
and it works for me.
It's not a perfect replacement for LED indicator. It only works on new messages, i.e. it won't stay until you clear your notifications.

Blink

After installing 2.1, blink no longer seems to function.
Does anybody know why or have any solutions?
Thanks
Yeah i noticed this myself but I thought cause I hadn't went through to do the setup again for it, I'll see how it goes since I change some colors up.
I have found blink is working, but only when the phone is locked
For me it is not working only for incoming SMS

[Q] BLN Notification

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything related to my issue. I'm trying to get BLN Notification lights to work on my Nexus S, and I've already tried a few kernels, netarchy, matr1x, and trinity, but they all have the same result. The light shows up for one or two seconds, then it turns off. I've also tried the SuperOSR rom and the same thing happens. I'm currently using MIUI.us 1.9.16. Is this how it's supposed to be? Any suggestions?
PS, a couple times, it did stay on (until I turned the screen on), but it is not consistent.
Thanks.

Hmm, I thought the blinking can only be accomplished with the pro version... Can someone attest to this plz?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Actually, I don't want it to blink. I'm fine with just the static light, and the problem is that the light does not stay on. I understand that the static light is available for the free version and blinking requires the pro version.

It's not blinking that he's talking about. For me I get a notification then the BLN turns on, 2 seconds later it turns off. If I wake the display without unlocking the phone then turn the display off again the BLN will turn back on and stay on indefinitely. But the initial BLN only lasts 2 seconds.
I'm also on the Free version.

Lol I wish I had your issue. Only reason I like BLN is because I can make my phone not wake up when receiving a notification and instead just display the backlights. Saves on battery I think.

Isn't mathkids kernel bln baked in so it works without a program? It shouldn't be the apps problem if it wont work on matrix. Check any scripts you have running that will interfere

Have the same problem ever since using MIUI..
anyone got a fix?
EDIT
Guys i found the fix from a fellow XDA member here.
You need to enable LED from settings, personal, LED settings.
Strange since i thought those settings attained only to phone with dedicated LED's, but apparently not!

text notification light

Hi, how do I make it so my g2x turns on it's light to let me know whenever I have a new text? I had this feature on before but it stopped working a couple of days ago and I can't seem to find the setting for it again. It currently works for missed calls but not when I have a text message I didn't read.
I am on CM7

The app I use is LG 2X/Black/3D Notification. Works great for me. You may need root before it will work.
But before I didn't need to use an external app. I don't know why but it stopped working for me all of a sudden.
Go to settings>CyanogenMod settings>interface>led notifications, then assign to whatever you want. But I also use the LG g2x/ black/ notification app. It works best.

CM_Arcee's ICS Beta ROM Discussion Thread

I feel like it deserves its own thread in the General section as the other one mainly pertains to ICS development.
Anyways, my voice to text was working flawlessly at first but not anymore. Anyone else having the same problem?
And if you're still unsure about running it, here's a short vid on it and how it runs.

Its kind of strange, people can receive my messages but I won't get theirs when they reply. I've tried wiping cache and reflashing but it was still a problem.

Yeah hardware acceleration isn't really fully working yet since its just a hack at the moment. That's why apps that utilize it are still weird at the moment. But hopefully he is able to fix that in the near future.

The only real issue I have is when I tap the screen, sometimes it'll act as if I'm holding down on where I tapped. Camera works for me now, but attempting to take picture make it not respond, asking me to force close. Still, it's good been good enough to use all day for me.

LED notification and brightness for stock 2.3.4?

On the new stock 2.3.4 that was just released, there are 2 features I miss greatly.. one is the dimming of the led lights.. and the other is using them as a notification. Has anyone found an app that works? I did find 1 notification app but from what I read, it sucks the battery down cuz it flashes.. can't do a steady light.
Thanks !
Did you try LG Touch LED Notification? It has steady light option.

There's a link in the thread I started about the application for notification toggles in this sub-forum. As to your question about the text things. Your phone lights up while you're texting? That's kind of normal don't you think. The screen coming on when the text comes in is a stock messaging thing. Nothing that can be done except installing a custom messaging application, as far as I know, I like that it lights up.
